Yes, he went to the NBA directly out of high school, so he had a few years advantage on the rest of the Laker greats, but many guys have come straight out of high school and none have put up the numbers that Kobe has.

Whenever he decides to hang up his sneakers, Kobe Bryant will undeniably be known as the greatest Laker to ever live.

Have a tip you want to send us?

Biased yes. Notwithstanding Kobe's accomplishments; individual goals are one thing but championships are another! Kareem & Wilt were undoubtedly unstoppable forces that no Kobe led team, except perhaps with Shaq, would have conquered easily, if at all!
